1'3 OVELTY-LAMP.

To all whom it may concern:

'Be it known that I, ALEXANDER E. Ran- 1.1011,.a citizen of the. UnitedStates, residing at Chicago, in the county-of Cook and State ofIllinois,- have invented a new and useful Novelt-yLamp, ofwhich thefollowing is a specification. r

This invention is a novelty lamp, and has for its primary object toembody therein a receptacle forming a standard therefor, and

a" candle holder mounted on and a shade bracket supported from the upperend thereof.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a closure, forthe receptacleineluding a candle holder and a shade bracket supplortedby the closure, whereby the candie older and shade bracket are removableto open the closure and permit the contents 01 the receptacle to beemptied therefrom.

'of parts elicited in the following description and pointed out in theappended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,wherei n the invention is illustrated in its preferred embodiment,and'wherein Figure 1 is a perspective View of the dcvic'e. Fig. 2 is avertical central section thereof, parts broken away. Fig. 3 is afragmental perspective of a detail.

Referring in detail to the drawings, the

standard comprises a tubular member 5,

preferably of glass or other pellucid mate rial having its lower endclosed, enlarged and externally screw threaded to form a receptacle, thelower enlarged end of the tubular member 5 being designated by thenumeral 6 and the screw threads thereon by the numeral 7, and the upperend of the tubular member or receptacle is enlarged as designated by thenumeral 10 and has the ex- 5 ternal screw threads 11. A base or support8, referably of sheet metal, has a threaded soc- 'et 9 rising therefromwhich receives the lower threaded end of the receptacle 5 to' supportthereceptacle in an upright positron.

5 socket depending from its lower end and which receives the upperenlarged and Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed1519:1129, 1912. Serial No. 693,950.

threaded end of the receptacle 5 to detach ablysecure the head 12 overthe open end of the receptacle. An annular stopper or cork 19 fits inthe spout 14; of the head 12. a.nd a

candle holder 16 is seated on the upper end of the stopper or cork 19and has a depending reduced portion 18 fitting into the said with asocket 17 in its upper end a apted to receive a candle 33. A metallicferrule 31 of, a diameter equal to thediameter of the spout 14 fits overthe candle holder and extends to the stopper 19 and has an upperinturned flange 32 seating or restin on the upper edge of the candleholder. he head 12-, the stopper l9 and the candle holder 16 form asecondary or outer closure for the receptacle, which incloses thestopper or in-' ner closure 15.

The shade bracket is constructed from a length of wire bent intermediateits ends into a U-shaped portion 20 fitting below the stopper 19 withinthe spout 14, and the two portions of the wire then being out-turnedasdesignated by the numeral 21 to seat on the spout 14 and then beingbent into 'up=' wardly diverging arms 22 which support theshade,designated generally by the nu meral 30. The free ends of the arms 22are inturned or deflected inwardly to form seats 23 for the shade andare then hooked as designated bythe numeral 24 to engage stopper, thecandle holder 16 being rovided with openings 27 therein and transparentor semi-transparent panels 26 secured over.

their inner faces to cover the openings 27, the edges of the sides 25being attached together by corner strips 28 clenched to the edges of thesides. This shade 30 is adapted to be supported by the shade bragret theseats 23 of the shade bracket resti in 0' posite corners of the shade atthe upper on s thereof and the books 24 engaging over the upper edges ofthe shade. The arms 22 are resilient, whereby upon the arms beingpressed together, the hooks 24 may be disen-. gaged from the upper edgesof the shad and the shade may then-be. removed, and in an oppositemanner the shade or another shade maybe secuped to the shade bracket. Inuse, when the parts are all assembled,

.the candle 33 which is inserted into-*the socket 17 of the candleholder-maybe lighted h m y d ice may serve' ir-inch,

of the receptacle to be emptied therefrom by removing the candle holder16 and the stopper 19 from the spout 12, thereby opening the outerclosure to permit the contents of the receptacle to be poured oremptiedtherefrom. The shade bracket having the U-shaped portion 20fitting in the spout 14 and below the stopper 19 serves as a meanswhereby the stopper and candle holder may be removed from the head 12,the candle holder and stopper being raised with the shade bracket as theshade bracket is raised. The funnel shaped head 12 serves as a means forconveniently pouring the contents of the receptacle therefrom byproviding a constricted spout opening. The candle holder and shadebracket may then be replaced to again close the receptacle 5. The candleholder 16 and the stopper 19 may also be removed from the head 12independent of the shade bracket when desired or necessary. In thismanner, a novel closure is provided for the receptacle forming thestandard of the lamp, which closure embodies a candle holder and shadebracket which are removable to open the closure and permit the con tentsof the receptacle to be poured or emptied therefrom. The head 12 andbase 8 may be also detached from the receptacle, whereby the stopper 15may be inserted into the open end of the receptacle to permit thereceptacle to be used as a bottle which may be sent to a distant pointto be refilled, and when being again received, the stopper 15 may beremoved and the head 12 again secured or attached over the open end.

The candle holder 16 is preferably constructed of Wood or other similarmaterial, and the ferrule 31, head 12 and the base 8 are preferablyconstructed of or stamped from sheet metal, preferably nickeled orotherwise finished to present a neat and attractive appearance, thereceptacle 5 being preferably of glass or pellucid material whereby thecontents thereof can be seen therethrough, although it is understoodthat the receptacle 5 may be constructed of paper or other material. Theshade 30 may also be of any desired construction, the shade as describedembodying a transparent or semi transparent panel 26 being preferablefor the reason that the flame of the candle can be seen therethrough orisvisible therethrough, which adds to the attractiveness of the lamp.

This novelty lamp is simple in construction and is capableof inexpensivemanufacture, and in its use is convenient and eflia per fitting in theopen end thereof,

cient, the lamp as a whole providing an attractive and desirable articleof this character." It is also understood that various materials may beemployed for the various parts and that this device is otherwisesusceptible of alterations or deviations in its details within the scopeof the appended claims without departing from the spirit of theinvention. It is further understood, that the member 16 may not only beused as a candle holder, but may be employed as a socket for an electricbulb, or for holding any other means of illumination.
